Technical skill upgradation for Handicapped women through ICECD garment training centre

As per the increase in demand for trained workforce (especially women) in the modern and export oriented garment sector, ICECD has trained women in modern garment technology. ICECD is well equipped with a training centre, having modern garment production machinery ranging from simple sewing machines to various sophisticated, numerically controlled (computerized) machines. The centre has a full time training team to facilitate the training process.

Under ICECD’s Garment Skill Upgradation programme, specific training is conducted for Apang Manav Mandal, wherein physically challenged girls are trained to manufacture various types of garments. This year 35 handicapped girls have been trained. We have also conducted technical skill upgradation training in garments for other men and women.

Aims:
